1). Any problems with noticeable parallax on stuff you've used?
(thick glass so the pen tip doesn't touch where it's pointed)

...)
The Wacom stylus tips are replaceable plastic 'rods' which are often too long, which leads to problems of the cursor existing hidden under a tipped stylus.



If you imagine the field, you can see how shortening the tip converges the cursor. (exaggerated sketch)



That's one parallax type issue. The other is that the screen corners often play hell with the mag-field, causing the cursor to be off quite a bit from the stylus tip. This is only an issue at first, when you go to close a window with the X up in the corner. but whn you find out about "Pen Flicks" you can have the app close with a fast swipe in the direction of your choosing.

These are my settings:



Also, if you go with a Surface Pro 2, spend $10 on a two-button pen/stylus. Toshiba has one that works great.

Cap-touch is like an iPhone. (needs finger) Resistive needs pressure.

On the pins for the blind... I know that one group gave people computer vision by having a very small version of that which blind people would place on and feel with their (very sensitive) tongue. --I thought that rather brilliant.
